Wholesome and Flavorful: Spiced Lentil Stuffed Bell Pe

Today’s Special: Spiced Lentil Stuffed Bell Peppers

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe for spiced lentil stuffed bell peppers. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing dinner guests with its wholesome ingredients and aromatic spices.

Ingredients:

• bell peppers (4 large)
• lentils (200g)
• onion (1 medium)
• tomatoes (2 medium)
• garlic (2 cloves)
• cumin powder (1 tsp)
• coriander powder (1 tsp)
• paprika (1/2 tsp)
• salt and pepper to taste
• olive oil for cooking

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. In a saucepan, cook the lentils according to package instructions until tender.

Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pan along with cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens.

Once the lentils are cooked, add them to the tomato mixture and stir well to combine. Fill each bell pepper with the lentil mixture and place them in a baking dish. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Serve the spiced lentil stuffed bell peppers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of yogurt for some added creaminess. These peppers are not only delicious but also packed with protein and fiber to keep you satisfied.

The approximate weight of the cooked dish is 800g, with 4 servings total. Each serving weighs around 200g, and has an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip I have for this recipe is to sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top of the stuffed bell peppers before baking. This adds a cheesy flavor and extra nutrients to the dish, making it even more flavorful and wholesome.

I hope you enjoy making and devouring these spiced lentil stuffed bell peppers as much as I do. Let me know how it turns out for you and feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite spices and ingredients. Happy cooking!
